I like to recommend other gardening blogs and that’s why I’m directing you to http://www.agardenforthehouse.com/2012/04/can-you-help-the-honey-bees/ a recent post on A Garden for the House. His article about the bees is spot on. Please take a few minutes to read it, and vow that you’ll never use Bayer’s 2 in 1 Rose & Flower Care. This systemic “used by millions of home-gardeners, contains clothianidin.” At Perennial Favorites we use no toxic chemicals on our roses, and by experimentation and observation we have selected the roses most resistant to diseases so that they are easy to care for in the garden.
